4. Do not modify the washer lid or the lid arm to keep the lid open. Heat from a fire will melt the fusible link and the washer lid
will automatically fall to smother the flames.
5. Use the parts washer in a well-ventilated area to avoid fume build up from the solvent.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING!
To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Disconnect the tool from the power supply before making any adjustments, changing accessories, cleaning, servicing or
when storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces.
There is an increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the power switch. This will prevent an accidental start-up when the power
cord is plugged into the power supply.
a. In the event of a power failure, turn off the machine as soon as the power is interrupted. The possibility of accidental
injury could occur if the power returns and the unit is not switched off.
4. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and accessories are designed with built-in safety features that may
be compromised if altered.
5. Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your equipment (see Specifications).
6. This tool is only for use on 120 V (single phase) and is equipped with a three-prong grounded power supply cord and plug.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should
electronically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
a. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way, as this will render the tool unsafe.
b. Do not use any adapter plugs.
WARNING! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
POWER CORD
1. Insert the power cord plug directly to the power supply whenever possible. Use extension cords or surge protectors only
when the tools power cord cannot reach a power supply from the work area.
a. When operating a tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked W-A or W. These cords are rated for outdoor use
and reduce the risk of electric shock.
b. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). It is recommended that the GFCI should have a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less.
2. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed, damaged or poorly spliced, as an electric shock may occur, resulting in
personal injury or property damage.
a. Inspect the tools power co rd for cracks, fraying or other faults in the insulation or plug before each use.
b. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than comfortably warm while operating the tool.
3. Keep all connections dry and off the ground to reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
4. Prevent damage to the power cord by observing the following:
a. Do not pull on the cord to disconnect the plug from an outlet.
b. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
c. Never use the cord to carry the tool.
d. Place the electrical cord in a position that prevents it from coming into contact with the tool and getting caught by the
workpiece. The cord should always stay behind the tool.
5. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over unprotected power cords.
a. Position power cords away from traffic areas.
b. Place cords in reinforced conduits or place planks on either side of the power cord to create a protective trench.
6. Do not wrap the cord around the tool, as sharp edges may cut insulation or cause cracks if wound too tight. Gently coil cord
and either hang on a hook or fasten with a device to keep cord together during storage.
